Adding a new blog post is simple. All content is stored in the src/content/blog directory as Markdown files.

Steps

1. Create a new file: Create a new .md file in src/content/blog. The filename usually corresponds to the slug of the post (e.g., my-new-post.md).

2. Add Frontmatter: At the top of the file, add the required metadata (frontmatter) enclosed in ---.

   ---
   title: "Your Post Title"
   description: "A short description of your post."
   date: "YYYY-MM-DD"
   draft: false
   ---

   • title: The title of the blog post.
   • description: A brief summary used in post lists and SEO.
   • date: The publication date in YYYY-MM-DD format.
   • draft: Set to true to hide the post from the build; false to publish it.

3. Write Content: Write your blog post content below the frontmatter using standard Markdown syntax.

Example

title: "My Awesome Day"
description: "Reflecting on a productive day of coding."
date: "2024-05-22"
